I am a true Crime Junkie fan and  I love their podcast.  While I was listening to one of their episodes, they spoke about a “If I go Missing File.”  I had never heard of that and thought it was a good idea.  I did a google search to see find out how to create one and I actually came across the one that Ashley and Brit created.  You can click on the link here and complete a short questionnaire and you will immediately be sent an email to download the file for yourself.  It’s 27 pages but obviously you can choose what you need to use.

I actually find this a great idea. With the way technology and the privacy laws are set up, if you go missing and no one can access your phone due to password protection, then no one has access to your last possible wearabouts.  I personally find this pretty scary.  The file also has a place for you to insert your fingerprints, what doctors you visit, credit card login and a wealth of other information to help law enforcement, family and friends in their search for you.

One reason why I find this so helpful is that you are giving permission for law enforcement to begin tracing your steps and searching for you without all the red tape involved.  Let’s be honest, by the time they can get a subpoena to go through your financial transactions, your abductor can have you somewhere in another country.  You obviously want to give someone you trust explicitly this information but I like the concept of this form.  Please look at it and pass it along.  You never know whose life you could be saving one day.
